GG compared to Meguire's. Also PCxp.

[Hoytman]

I know the brush's are easily accessile on the Meguire's which is a nice feature. Are they easily accessable on the other two?

GG has the most power according to the specs. How does this compare to Meguire's cruise control, another nice feature?

I noticed the Meguire's has a larger opm range, at least on the slower side. How often would this slower opm be advantageous?

What bothers me about getting the Meguire's is the pad size. Many here seem to recommend the 5.5inch pads vs. the larger ones that come with the meguire's and PCxp DA's. I've read the larger pads are fine on the GG and Flex. I can afford the flex now, but from what I've read the GG can accept and handle 4inch pads up to 6.5inch pads. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Slower speeds are helpful for applying/removing wax and final polishing, but I'm doubtful the slower speeds on the Megs would provide an advantage.

I've never used my Griots on 1 or 2. (Maybe if I got the carpet brushes). You are correct, the GG can do some heavy correction with a 6" pad.

I love my GG and have used large 6.5in pads all the way down to 3in pads... I love the power of it and the correction ability... I rarely use my PE14 unless I am doing a huge correction now so the GG has taken the place for most jobs and I have yet to touch the brushes on it... Plus the GG has a life time warranty!

Just my thoughts:

I think the Shurhold Polisher, GG6 and Meg's all use the same design and maybe even made from the same manufacture. You can prove me wrong however. They all have pretty much the same look so that's what I'm going on but I'm sure I'm putting my foot in my mouth. Also they are all made in China.

If I remember right the Meg's G110v1 was made by Porter Cable, but after that deal they contracted out to a manufacture in China for the G110v2.

Now as your question about the pads, everyone will recommend on here that you use a 5.5" with whatever ODA polisher you use. GG6, G110v2, Shurhold, PCXP all use a 5/16 so you can use the same BP for all four of them. Which opens you up to use a BP of 3", 4", 5", 6" sizes. So no if you get the Meguiar's G110v2 you aren't stuck with a 6" only BP and 6.5" + pads.

Might wanna PM Charlie (Shiny'lil detailer) as I think he's the biggest fan on this forum of the G110v2 and get his 1st hand experience with the machine, since I do believe before he started to only use the G110v2 he used to use a gg6.

When I use my porter cable 7424xp on bumpers and some contours, the pad always stops and I'm using speed 5 with 5.5" pads.

Is this where the meguiar's g110v2 "cruise control" feature helps? Would the Griot's Garage polisher do better in this situation as well?

[Rei86]

The Griot's is pretty powerful and wouldn't "stop." The G110v2 has a torque kick that helps the machine push on when pressure is applied. However out of all three I'm sure the GG6 would the strongest.

I have the G110V2 and it is a very weak machine. I haven't used the GG but I have used the PCXP and feel that it too is a weak machine. I got tired of all the tricks and technique to keep the pads rotating so I just learned how to use a rotary instead and bought a Flex 3401 too.

With my G110V2 I even have a hard time keeping 4" pads rotating on bumpers and mirrors.

I have yet to find any information regarding a UL listing for the GG polisher. Kinda makes me suspicious of the power ratings and safety of the machine...

Keep in mind that rotation is not the only contributing factor in defect removal.
